"The old man has a younger brother, in his early thirties, hard-working, and loyal to the emperor, but he has never encountered any opportunities for being upright, and the old man thinks that to investigate such a thing as Zhuo Ye to eliminate harm for the country, he needs to be so upright and can't lie."
Ning Sheng almost burst out laughing when he heard this, and he held back his smile for a long time before suppressing his smile, fortunately, Lord Dou had always lowered his head in a proper manner, otherwise he would definitely be able to see Ning Sheng's face flushed with a smile.
I haven't heard Ningsheng's echo, Lord Dou thought that Ningsheng was hesitating, but Ningsheng didn't veto it like before, indicating that there was still a chance, kneeling and knocking on the ground:
"Your Majesty, the old man is absolutely selfless, and it has been my brother's wish for many years to contribute to the emperor, but he has an upright personality and a clear distinction between right and wrong, which has offended many people, please ask the emperor to give his brother a chance."
Ning Sheng suppressed his smile, stabilized his mind, and then slowly spoke:
"Okay, I believe in Lord Dou, and I also believe in Lord Dou's brother, so I'll leave this matter to Lord Dou's brother."
After Lord Dou came out of the palace, he ran to find Dou Xiao in a smoke, although Ning Sheng didn't promise him anything, but the name "Emperor" is a promise, as long as it can be done, can they get less of their brothers?
After Dou Xiao heard this, he entered the palace to see Ning Sheng in the afternoon.
Ning Sheng saw Dou Xiao and felt very bad, Lord Dou may be because of his age, the muscles on his face are relaxed, and he looks better, but this Dou Xiao has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, not to men, he is really a scholar, and he has no power to restrain chickens, Ning Sheng suddenly felt a little worried, such a thin person will not fall apart before he reaches the east pass.
Although Dou Xiao restrained himself and pretended to be upright and honest, his small eyes with a grunt light still fell into Ning Sheng's eyes:
Such a person can clean up Hyun.
Dou Xiao packed up his things and set off early the next morning, but he didn't take a carriage but rode a horse, and even Grandpa Hao was a little worried about whether this noodle would be turned into flour halfway.
turned around and followed Ningsheng to the study of the harem, but Ningsheng didn't read the book, but touched the imprint of the activity when he came to read the book, his face was full of nostalgia, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and his eyes flashed with a doting look.
Gonggong Hao helped Ning Sheng to the push ladder, and Ning Sheng touched the place where the paint had been peeled off:
"Do you remember that time when you found out that Hyun can read and write?"
Father-in-law Hao glanced at Ning Sheng, bowed his head and replied:
"Remember, Hyun was very flustered and was frightened by King Yi."
Ning Sheng smiled:
"Yes, in fact, I have long suspected that she can read, but I don't understand why she wants to hide, I almost laughed out loud when I saw her flustered appearance that day, do you say she is stupid? What book could make her so fascinated. ”
Father-in-law Hao thought for a while and said:
"Hyun suddenly came to the palace, she doesn't trust anything around her, and it is inevitable that she will be vigilant, and the emperor loves her, so she has to guard against the concubines' tricks."
Ning Sheng nodded, and turned his head to look at the various books on the shelves:
"A person who has so many things in her head actually has to protect herself by pretending to be stupid, is she smart or not?"
"Hyun has a lot of things in his head, but he has no scheming, and he can't play ......" peeked at Ning Sheng, and changed his words, "I can't play the concubines' tricks, so I can only stay away from them by pretending to be stupid, if it weren't for Queen Renhui's step-by-step pressing, Hyun would definitely still be pretending to be crazy and stupid in the harem." ”
Ning Sheng sighed:
"yes, I wish she had been stupid all the time."
As he spoke, his hands touched the place where the paint had been rubbed back and forth.
Father-in-law Hao observed it carefully, and said:
"However, if it weren't for Hyun's ideas, I don't know, I don't know if we can be so peaceful."
As soon as the words fell, the warmth in Ning Sheng's eyes dissipated instantly, and it was the emperor's reason, ruthlessness, and coldness, Hao Gonggong secretly complained, and wanted to say something good for Hyun.
Sure enough, Ning Sheng snorted coldly, and went down the stairs and walked out of the study with some anger.
Hyun, who was in the middle of a pile of maps in the room, suddenly saw the black iron egg shouting and rushed in:
"Zhuo Ye! Zhuo Ye! Oh no, the emperor sent another deputy supervisor, named Dou Xiao! ”
Hearing the name, Hyun looked up from the map:
"Dou Xiao! Are you sure it's Dou Xiao?! ”
Wu Tie Dan didn't understand why Hyun reacted so much, and rubbed his head a little helplessly:
"Hmm, it's Dou Xiao."
As soon as the words fell, Hyun had already rushed out with a gust of wind.
There was some excitement along the way:
Is it really Dou Xiao? Did he wear it too? Do you want to sign for him? If it's really him, do I have an extra helper? Uh-huh, if he wants to, it's all right to replace me, how nice it would be to let me go and wander around, yah, that's so selfish! But is it really Dou Xiao? Is there finally a similar kind?!
Thinking about it so messily, the more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and my heart trembled uncontrollably.
walked quickly towards Dou Xiao, but when he saw Dou Xiao from a distance, he couldn't help but open his mouth and scolded:
"Uncle's! Is this old man here to make fun?! ”
With a snort, she walked back angrily, and the second monk of Wutie Danzhang who followed her couldn't figure it out.
Ningsheng sent Dou Xiao here, except for letting him monitor Hyun, he didn't give him any other rights, because Ningsheng knew the two brothers, if such a person gave some rights, I am afraid that one day they would be able to develop this right into the ability to overthrow him, but, at the border pass, after all, Dou Xiao's name is the deputy supervisor, and the soldiers don't understand, but they know Dou Xiao's character, so they all avoid him. Hyun also ignores him, wanting to see what he can do and to what extent.
For Dou Xiao, he thinks that he is hand-picked by the emperor, although he has not announced it to the public, but he also has Ningsheng to support him, and the people here avoid him, so there is a kind of "salted fish turned over" heroic, with his hands behind his back and walking in all directions, no longer shrinking like when he was in the capital.
One day, the sheep's tongue came out of the council hall angrily, and just saw Hyun swaying leisurely not far away, and his heart was even more annoyed, and he rushed to Hyun in a gust of wind and shouted:
"Don't you understand why you were asked to come to the border? It's better to be a little self-aware! ”
After saying that, he left angrily.
Hyun wondered where she was, and rushed to her to say this, what did she mean? Turning his head to look in the direction he came from, he saw the chief and deputy commanders, some generals and Dou Xiao rushing out of the council hall, everyone's faces were not good, and they saw Hyun looking at her with a kind of hatred for iron and steel, but Dou Xiao was proud, looking at Hyun like a dead man.
Can Hyun still not understand what is going on in this scene? Then he looked in the direction where the sheep tongue had left:
It seems that the sheep's tongue is not a wicked person.
looked at Dou Xiao, who was floating when he walked, and moved his eyes to the direction of the capital:
I don't know what I said to my brother again.
Thinking of the title of "brother", he was stunned, and then he was desolate, with a mocking wry smile on his face, and then continued his leisurely leisure.
As expected, Dou Xiao told Ningsheng that Hyun and Tuoba Shiyijian had correspondence, and that they were treason, defecting to the enemy or something, and wrote a bunch of righteous words, and Ningsheng threw them aside impatiently without reading them.
He knows that Hyun and Tuoba Shi Yijian have correspondence, not only her, but even Jiang Wu also has, but every time they go through official channels, even if Hyun goes to the border pass, the correspondence with Shi Yiqian still goes through official channels, so the correspondence between the two, Ning Sheng knows better than Dou Xiao, if you can use this to kill Hyun, do you still have to wait now?
Ning Sheng picked up another letter sent back with him, the letter was about impeaching other officials, Ning Sheng read the first sentence, and threw it to the ground angrily:
"Let him go to keep an eye on Hyun, he really thinks of himself as a prison soldier?!" asked Father-in-law Hao, "Should I go to someone else?" ”
Hao Gonggong thought to himself:
The most important thing to change is the emperor's mind.
But he didn't dare to say that:
"The emperor asked the old slave such a profound question, but it was difficult for the old slave, and the old slave only knew how to serve the emperor."
Ning Sheng snorted and leaned back into the chair, thinking about it, it seems that only Dou Xiao is suitable, and the villain is suitable for this kind of place.
Dou Xiao confidently waited for two or three months without any movement, not only did the punishment of Hyun not come down, but also the punishment of other officials did not come down, some discouraged, wrote a letter to Lord Dou about the matter, Lord Dou encouraged him not to be discouraged, to come up with something more powerful.
Hyun washed off the black ash, took Huami and Yao'er to the street, and found a food stall to rest and eat when he was tired.
Probably affected by the environment since childhood, I told Yao'er to call Master Hyun, and Yao'er didn't call Mr. Hyun at all, called Grandpa Huami, not only did not feel unhappy, but I thought it was a very interesting thing, because I could see the other faces of those people who nodded their heads on weekdays, and I thought it was very funny.
The three of them were eating and chatting, when they suddenly heard a voice in the distance:
"Dou Jian Jun travels! Get out of the way! Dodge! ”
Before the words fell, the vendors and pedestrians on both sides hurriedly avoided it, and then they felt a vibration under their feet, and several figures on horseback galloped past with a piece of flying loess.
Hyun and Hua Mi couldn't help but be surprised, something must have happened to Dou Xiao to be in such a hurry.
When he was about to go back, he suddenly heard the stall owner scolding:
"How many times a day I go back and forth, and I don't let people do business?! Look! Look! As soon as they passed, a layer of loess fell on everything! Hurry to reincarnate! ”
A diner looked down at the food he was eating in his arms, symbolically dusted it away, and put it on the table to eat:
"Don't say it, let Dou Jianjun listen to you, look at Lao Zhao's shop opposite, shut up quickly."
The boss looked up at the sealed shop on the opposite side and sighed and cleaned things.
Hyun's face was gloomy, although she was more popular here, she was not a commander, nor was she a high-ranking official, even if it was a border pass, she would still not be particularly prominent as a third-grade official, and Hyun didn't care about anything, so I didn't know that Dou Xiao could be so arrogant.
Yao'er watched the soil fall, then took out the food from his arms, climbed the bowl and smelled it carefully, and made sure that it was not bad before starting to eat, after eating, he saw that Hyun and Huami's faces were not good, so he put the bowl on the stool first, and then climbed down by himself, and then took the bowl to the boss, and said in a milky voice:
"Grandpa, it's delicious, I want more."
The stall owner's mood is a little heavy, it is not easy for the people to make a living, and it is even more difficult in ancient times when the hierarchy is clear.
Suddenly hearing Yao'er's voice, his heart softened, and he looked down to see that he was a pink child, although he was wearing coarse linen clothes, his temperament was different from that of ordinary people, and he squatted down and asked:
"Whose child are you?"
Yao'er pointed to Huami and said:
"My grandfather is over there."
